Based on analyzing a big body of spam and ham messages, the GA in it's finite wisdom adjusted the score of RCVD_IN_SBL to balance false negatives and false positives. In short, the magic black box of the GA set the score; we mere mortals should not challenge the decisions of the mighty GA. :) Based on my limited understanding of the score generation process, if SA's overall accuracy were increased with a larger RCVD_IN_SBL score, the GA would have scored it higher. Probably. You may get better results with a higher score but you're not seeing the same traffic that SA was trained on. hth, -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
